A judge has reduced EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick's six-month driving ban to two months.The 27 year old was banned from driving for six months, fined £660, and a further £166 in court costs, after he admitted to speeding in his Mercedes at 52mph on a 30mph road in Romford, east London, in May last year.

Since his driving ban came into effect, Jamie, best known for playing Jay Brown on the popular soap, has been paying for public transport to get to BBC studios for filming.

However, his lawyer claimed that he is now unable to take public transport to work because he is constantly recognised and is unable to drive his great uncle and aunt to their hospital appointments.

Jamie's case was heard in a closed court hearing known as a Single Justice Procedure on December 1 last year. He was then given six penalty points at Romford Magistrates' Court on January 31.
